Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Start by heating the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the crumbled tempeh.
- 2
Stir in the smoked paprika, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tempeh is nicely browned and flavorful.
- 3
While the tempeh is cooking, prepare the collard greens. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and blanch the collard green leaves for about 1-2 minutes until they’re bright green and pliable. Drain and let them cool.
- 4
Once the tempeh is done, let it cool slightly. Then, lay a collard green leaf flat and add a few spoonfuls of the smoky tempeh in the center.
- 5
Top it with sliced avocado, shredded carrots, cucumber, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
- 6
Drizzle with fresh lime juice and season with salt if desired.
- 7
Carefully roll the collard green leaf around the filling, folding in the sides as you go, to create a wrap. Use toothpicks to secure if needed.
- 8
Repeat the process with the remaining leaves and filling. Enjoy your wraps fresh, or store them for later!
